Max Dupain was one of Australia's most important photographers and we are most fortunate to have strong holdings of his work. The opportunity has arisen to bring into the Collection a number of Dupain's presentation albums. The first 3 of these were given in 2000 and were originally cared for in the Gallery Archive, however the value of the individual prints and their quality as exhibition prints meant that a move to the Australian Photography Collection was necessary.

The Gallery is extremely fortunate to have this material and therefore have a major archive of Dupain's work.
